Pirates Of The Caribbean May Be A Sham
Wednesday, July 12, 2006
Movie Database is saying that success of the Pirates Of The Caribbean sequel has been tainted by a Hollywood screenwriter, who claims the whole idea was created by him. Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, had the biggest selling weekend ever and even beat out the original Spiderman, but writer Royce Mathew is ready to stop the celebrations.
It goes on to say:"He claims he created "drawings" and a "screenplay" for a project he called Supernatural Pirate Movie - and now he fears his ideas have been turned into a Disney blockbuster. Royce states he even called the pirate ship in his film treatment the Black Pearl - the same name used for Johnny Depp's craft, and the subtitle for the original film. And he also created a lead characters called Will Turner - the same name as Orlando Bloom's swashbuckler in the Disney films - and Elizabeth - the Christian name of Keira Knightley's character. The screenwriter insists he registered the drawings and his screenplay with the US Copyright Office, and is now suing the The Walt Disney Company, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Touchstone Home Video and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, claiming movie bosses used his ideas as a blueprint for the Pirates of The Caribbean films."
I can't believe I just quoted that entire paragraph. Can't this Royce guy just make it easier and say he created everything about the movie, including the time they are eating lunch on set? This guy really deserves no money anyway, because he tried to call this Supernatural Pirate Movie. Wow, are you freaking kidding? My penis could name a movie better than that. Although, the movie would probably consist of hot porn star hackers who are after my secret decoded message. There's only one way to get it from me, kinky sex.
